The latest typewriter in the collection, an Olympia Traveller de Luxe S, is an interesting little machine. It is also covered in drops of a hard white substance. At first i thought it was paint but then i realised, as much of it is on the rollers and guard by the type point that this may be years of build up of tipp-ex! The typewriter looks like it has worked hard, even seemed like it had fag ash under the keys (i got rid of that, whatever it was, with a vacuum cleaner!) The typewriter works well despite the obvious signs of a hard working life, just like my beloved Olympia Olympiette. All the Traveller seems to need is a new ribbon... and a good clean.
